TIMELINE

Julia descends to the ground after an agreement with Pacific Lumber Company successfully protects Luna and a 200-foot buffer zone of forest around her. Julia had lived on a platform in Luna for 738 days. Soon after coming back to terra firma, Julia founds the Circle of Life Foundation. The Earth Island Institute incubates the project for two years

November 2000:

A deep chainsaw cut is discovered on Luna, cutting almost halfway through the tree. Luna is treated with an herb and clay mixture and stabilized with metal cables and braces. Luna is routinely monitored and despite the injury, she continues to flourish

April 20, 2003: Circle of Life produces and hosts the first annual “We the Planet Music and Activism Festival” in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The concert was nearly zero waste, utilizing tree-free paper for tickets and posters, compostable utensils and bio-diesel to run the stage. The first-time festival attracted 10,000 people and encouraged them to bring Circle of Life’s message into their everyday lives
